Hi, I’m Max!

If you’ve been diagnosed with Functional Neurological Disorder, you may have the same questions I did when I was first diagnosed over 20 years ago. Why had I never heard of this condition? Back then, there were no support groups and no resources. I felt so utterly helpless and alone. During my first week of symptoms while I was in the hospital, I promised myself that if I could ever make someone’s journey a little easier through this disorder, I would. This blog is a result of that promise.

At my worst, I couldn’t walk or talk. I lived in an assisted living facility so that I could receive full time care. That was the lowest point of my life.

Five years ago, I found ways to manage my symptoms. I’ve been stable ever since. Now I’m on a mission to continue to find ways to create the healthiest nervous system I can have so that I never lose my function again. I hope you will join me as you discover ways to manage your FND too!
